Alone in the world, but with a fortune of her own, she considers looking up her own family whom she has nev- er seen. A neighbor, Evan Bow-{ er, tries to argue her out of it and tells her he loves her and asks her to marry him. She promises to think it over but decides first to see her family. She goes to their address, ,finds that they are destitute, have sold 'all of their furniture, have no coal, her mother is sick and her father has no job. Her sister treats her like an enemy and resents her offer of help, but finally, after many explanations, agrees to take mon- ey to buy coal and food in order to save her mother's life. Her father comes in sick and hungry but hurries to the cellar to build a fire and get the house warms. Her brother Ted tames in, is re- sentful of her 'being there at first, but 'When she finds all that she has done both he and Betty de- cide they like their new sister. He studied her tor then he said gravely: "But we can't live off of you! It's greaa.t of you to .help us out a little till we get on. our feet, but we can't keep on•letting you feed us. Perhaps I can get a job soon and pay you back. The brightness went out of Mar- jorie's face. "Listen, Ted, if I had lived here, and you had plenty, wouldn't you have shared it with •me?" "Of course!"`said Ted crossly, "but that's different! I'm a fella." "Well, that's all right, 'fella' dear, but it isn't different. I'm a " part of this family, unless you throw me out, and what's mine is yours. And now, come, I'd like to say a word about What you did to 'me when you first came in. You took that cup of tickets away and told me they wouldn't interest me. But they do interest me. They interest me very much. They're pawn tickets, aren't they? Well, vehat are we ging to do about them, Ted? Are these Mother's things! that she's fond of? Oughtn't we to go and get them?" "They're. her things. They're all the things she has. And she couldn't get new things even if she did want them- S'he can't get these either," he addled dejectedlly. "I tell you it costs a lot of iiiomey. "Yes, but how much, Ted?" persist- ed Marjorie. "It isn't your responsibility," said Ted doggedly. "It's mine. I pawned them." "Now look here, Ted, you just stop pushing •me ou of the family like that. Now ' reach up to that top shelf and take down that teacup and we'll add -those tickets up and see what it comes to. Please!" Half shanietily Ted did her bidding. - They got out ,the tickets and Mar-' jortie added them all up, a pitifully small sum it seemed to the girl, to represent the duoueeh'old goods of a home, but to the boy it seemed a breath king fortune. "Is that al11!" said Marjorie when he handed her the sum. "Why, I can give you that right away." "But I can't bring them till after five," said Ted: "That will be after dark too. The neighbors are so curi- ous. Mother hates that! Having them all find out just what we've got and what we haven't. You know we used to have a nice bone over in a'suburb on the other side of the' city. Nice big house, built of stone. Plenty of room. We each had a room to ourselves, and there was a garage and a big garden, and flowers • and fruit trees. It was swell place. And Dad had a position with a good salary. That was before the depression, you know." "Oh, may dear!" said Marjorie quite honestly crying now. "My dear! I'm an instant and "i put in, a little extra," said his sister smiling, "I - thought perhaps you'd think " of something we need that I've forgotten." "Gosh!" said Ted gazing down at the roll of bills La his hand- "Don't know's I can trust myself out alone. I might get held, up carrying all this wealth." The boy grinned. An inspector visiting a village school had questioned the clams at some length. Finally he said, "Now Is there anything any of you would tike to ask me?" t "Please, sir," piped a voice from the back row, "what time does your train ga?" • Two golfers. playing an innpbrtant rna'tich were annoyed by' a slow couple in front of them. AL one hole there was a particularly long wait. " One of the offending couple dtawdled on the fairway, while his companion search- ed indnwtriotrely in the rough. ; At last the waiting couple on the tee could contain their patience no longer. Why don't you help your friend to Hud his ball?" one shouted indignant ty. "Oh, he's got his ball," the reply came blandly; "he's looking for his club." • "Bagpipe are not peculiar to Scot- land, as some people think," slays a writer.

"Gone!" maid Marjorie with dismay in her voice. "Do you want me to go?" "No, not on yer life! "But you're not going • to stick around these dig- gings. Not with the home you've been. used to! Say!" he added irrelevant- ly, "you look a lot like Betts, and yet you don't. I could tell you apart al - 'ready! You don't look quite so frow- sy as Betty, and you've got a cute little quirk in the corners of your nroulib- Maybe Betty would look lake that too if she hadn't had to work so hard, and have such a lot of trouble." "You're sweet!" said Marjorie, and sudderuly reached up with a `quick mo- tion. and kissed •ter new brother on his lean hard young cheek. Then he turned sharply away to- ward the window and she saw him brush his hand across his eyes, . and swallow hard. "You're aw'right," he said grudg- ingiy. "Thanks; awfully!" said Marjorie, trying to enter into his spirit. "But who is that coming in the door?" "'That's Bud," said 'red, peering through the crack in the hall. "Hey, Kid! Hush up there! Dad and Muth's asleep!" A boy about ten came panting into the room, 86 out of breath he could scarcely articulate. "They—sent meta tell you—!" he panted. "You gotta comae right away an' get the kids. Bonnie's got a fever —an' she—wouldn't eat her cereal— an' she is crying for Betty—anr_Sunny is yellin' his head off!" "Okay, you . come with me, Kid. We'll get 'em," said Ted, "but I don't laiow what we'll de with 'em here, Gosh! Can you beat it?" He cast an apologetic eye at the new sister. "What is it?" she asked puzzled. "Who, are 'they?" "The kids!" answered her brother in astonisirnient. "Didn't you know about them?" "No!" said Marjorie. "Oh, I re- member, Betty said something when I first came about taking the children somewhere, but I had forgotten about it. I didn't realize there were more of us." "Two besides Bud!" said Ted lift- ing his chin maturely and sighing. "I don't know how we're going to make the grade with any more sick folks." sarerjorte gave a little" seep of am- azement and then her soft lipe set fi rmly- "We'll manage!" she said, "I'll go with you to get them. 1 ,can carry one of them." Ttiey walked along almost a block before Marjorie spoke again and a great shyness was possessing Ted. Thenthey arrived at the neighbor- hood creche and Ted led the way in. About that time back at Marjorie's home i:a Chicago Evan Brower was standing at the front doer impatiently ringing the doorbell. Since lie had left her; Evan Brower had been vaguely disturbed by Mar- jorie's attitude, and wished he had stayed, in spite of her request that he go and let cher think things over. He should have reasoned with her right then and there. -He had never considered Marjorie Wetherill impulsive before, but now he recalled a certain look in her eyes as she thad spoken of her own people, that smacked of fanaticism. Also, she was young and utterly without experience in financial affairs, and here she was suddenly left with a fairly large fortune, and menaced by a family of unknown quantity and quality. Theme thoughts had been milling about in his brain all day as the drove from one appointment to the other and then ,back to hie home city, com- ing straight out to Wetherill's instead "You don't, know where she's gone? Hav!enit you her address?" "No, sir, I haven't " Evan Brower frowned. This was really set -Mu -St What a fool he had been not to make Marjorie sit down and listen to him the other night! Evan Brower got into his car and drove away in much dis's•atisfaction. So! She bad gone. Headstrong lit - tle girl! Im,pe;tuous! He hadn't married her, and be had practically committed 'himself to that course, he would certainly have to train that out of her. Marjorie had slipped neatly ,through his fingers and gene her own way is spite of his prwtests. He would try the letter carder and post office of course, though they were not supposed to give such Information" But the poet office when consulted said they were to hold all mail for further orders. She had left no address. Well, somehow he must get in touch with her. So he went hiss way, and made his plans for going after Marjorie when the right moment should come, and that would be the first minute be knew where to find her. He went' out and bought a delight- ful Christmas gift for her. He even- tually went so far as to look at en- gagement rings. The More he thought .about it the more his thoughts became intrigued with the girl who was leo sweet and unspoiled. How easily she could be molded. to fit the environment in which she •would live if she were his wife. Then, the reflected, Marjorie had always been fond of his company, had been ready to accept his invitations always, although until recently he had taken her out very little. There was no reason thinkabtle why she should not want to marry him. And it was quite the appropriate thing for him to marry 'her, More and more as he turned it- over in his mind his common sense as well as his inclination approved the plan. And it was comfortable to think of the girl of his dhoice as being utter- ly unspoiled by contact with the world- There had been no other man in her life, he was sure of that. He would not have to worry about any youthful indiscretions. Innocent and lovely, that was whet she was, and very likely the had • been the ideal man in her eyes. Not that he had always had one ideal of w'omanihood, himself; but of course men were different. it was man's part to choose, and naturally, be had considered other girls, but had never been quite satisfied. He began to think back to his, first consciousness o f Marjorie, when she had come crease from col- leg'e atter graduation. --- - .. He remembered her as she sat in ch'urclr, across the aisle, a row in front of wihere he was sitting with his mother. He had -been struck with her beauty then, and wondered that he had never seen it before. He had watched her during tile service, as she gave attenrti•on to the sermon: her sweet seriousness at- tracted him strongly. This difference they had had the last time he had talked with her, about hunting up her oven people, had been the first unwise decision he had ever seen. her make. In tike meantime his mind was making itself up very definitely that Marjorie was desirable. The more so as he discovered thi- ougth an old friend and confidante of the Wether- ill family that an unusually large num- ber of s'ha.res of a very valuable stock were a part of the . Webheri•ll estate which Marjorie had inherited. Mar- jorie 'had a lot of money and needed the right man .to look after it. And he was convinced that ha was the right Aman. That was the day he selected the great blue diamond engagement ring. But Marjorie was walking along a sordid back street holding the thin cold hand of a little new brother who wbs crying. Marjorie suddenly swooped down and swept the youngster into her arms. She had nes-er had much to do with children before, but she was quite strong and held him firmly.

After five years of work 'to perfect his invention, Leo 1?" Deutsch, of Hammond, Ind hos manufactured a lock wluich he thinks no man will ever -be able to pick. According to Deut•I' his lock is expected to revolutionize the lock and key i'nd'ustry. The basic design of his mechanism consists in 65,000 dif- ferent combinations which the lock owner can change at will. "The lock owner," Deutsch' said, "can set his own combination" in the 'key to match that, of the lock. The combination can be changed in lase than five minutes without the help of a mechanic or expert. The economy to the landlord who gets a new ten- ant or to the employer who changes, transfers or shifts his help is readily apparent. "The automobile owner will be es- pecially interested in my invention, If he happens to lose his set of keys or finds his car locked, he can °borrow keys from another motorist, set the combination and adjust it to the new key, open the door and then change the combination back to fit the orig- inal key." Deutsch, has obtained patent rights for his lock ie. the United States and in more than a score of foreign coun- tries. Backed by a number of prom- inent Northern Indiana busi'nes's men, he has formed a company to begin ma.nufacturin'g of the devices within a short time. There are foolproof locks of all sorts on the market but none of them have the universal ap- plication claimed by Deutsch for his invention.
